    Best hotel and breakfast during our 5 weeks in Costa Rica!! The house resembles like a lovely decorated private villa. Lourie and her maid Miriam are incredibly helpful, welcoming and inspiring. The rooms are cosy, very clean and elegantly decorated like the rest of the house and the wonderful garden. Plus: the hotel is close to the airport but nevertheless quite and there are many good restaurants within walking distance.
